During September 2014, a male lion known to us as Ringo took up residence in front of our “last waterhole hide” at  Mwamba Bush Camp. Our guests had so many close sightings of Ringo from the security of the Mwamba photographic hide during the season, one, in particular, we will never forget.

We found Ringo hanging from the muzzle of a feisty, female buffalo. What followed over the next few hours can only be described as an epic battle between two gladiators fighting to the death. This is some of the unbelievable footage we captured from this sighting.
